A few weeks ago we highlighted the Canadian government’s willingness to give millions of dollars to a single company — Bombardier. This program was highlighted by Mark Milke whose article was followed up by a response from Bombardier. Well, in this post Milke returns the volley:
In his 1946 essay, Politics and the English Language, George Orwell argued that, “political speech and writing are largely the defence of the indefensible.” Orwell’s quip came to mind again recently after reading Bombardier’s defence of taxpayer subsidies to business, this in response to my recent study on the matter.
